http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wupToqz1e2g Wouldn't it be great for every Earthling to not only watch/listen to this video, but also to be able to think about their personal footprint, their public behaviors, the preciousness of life? Everything that has ever been, everything that is...exists on this 'pale blue dot' and to our knowledge nowhere else. This is it...our stewardship directly determines our future existence. It is unconscionable to me that many can be so cavalier with our existence and our future, having such hatred towards each other, governments still at war, arguing the obvious regarding our environment and resources and population. Frank Drake was prophetic including a variable in his calculation for extraterrestrial life in the Milky Way and beyond, the variable which asks how long will an intelligent civilization last, and looking at our trend on this Earth, it really won't be very long...
